An Adaptive Subset Based Replacement Policy (ASRP) is proposed in this paper. In ASRP policy, each set in Last-Level Cache (LLC) is divided into multiple subsets, and one subset is active and others are inactive at a given time. The victim block for a miss is only chosen from the active subset using LRU policy. A counter in each set records the cache misses in the set during a period of time. W...

this paper analyzes renewal input state dependent queue with $n$- policy wherein the server takes exactly one vacation. using the supplementary variable technique and recursive method, we derive the steady state system length distributions at various epochs. various performance measures has been presented. finally, some numerical  computations in the form of graphs are presented to show the par...

The problem of rested and restless multi-armed bandits with constrained availability of arms is considered. The states of arms evolve in Markovian manner and the exact states are hidden from the decision maker. First, some structural results on value functions are claimed. Following these results, the optimal policy turns out to be a threshold policy. Further, indexability of rested bandits is ...

a r t i c l e i n f o In this study, the advanced panel threshold regression model was used to test whether a marginal threshold value representing optimal financial decisions exists respective to the holding ratio of free cash flow, the debt ratio, and the dividend payout ratio determined by the U.S. life and property–casualty insurance industry. The results indicated that an optimal financial...

Considerable attention has been paid to heavy episodic or "binge" drinking among college youth in the United States. Despite widespread use, the binge measure is perceived by some as a low intervention threshold. We use data from the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study (n = 49,163) to describe patterns of consumption and harms along a continuum including the binge measure to d...
